About this event

Vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem is the backbone of a prosperous community, where rise of an innovative culture is so often credited to those who convert ideas and creativity into meaningful ventures. However, hardly any limelight is shed upon those who work behind the scenes and design, execute, and educate policies that eventually minimize barrier to entry for its residents. 

Startup Grind Lansing is proud to host a panel discussion that would deliberate on the critical junctures where entrepreneurship, innovation, and public policy intersect. Our guests are nationally recognized leaders who represent Lansing entrepreneurial ecosystem with distinction.
